Uniform and healthy loose flowers of Marigold cv. “Calcutta Jambo”, Tuberose cv. “Local” and Chrysanthemum “White” and “Yellow” colored were used for the study in October 2018. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of 24 hours pre-cooling and storage at cold room conditions (4°C + 95% RH) on the post-storage life of loose flowers. The post-storage life of different loose flowers was tested by holding flowers at room temperature, after taken out from the cold room of Ecofrost at the end of 24 hours pre-cooling, end of the day - 2, 3, 4 and 5. The results showed that keeping loose flowers at cold room condition recorded the maximum storage-life (days) as compared to the flowers kept at room temperature.
